Roommate on probation with my firearms in apartment?

[ipleadda2nd]

Well, that's the situation. I live in an apartment in Adams county. I've had a roommate in this apartment for a few months. His girlfriend is getting out of Boulder county jail for a DUI and is moving in. She will be on probation with an ankle bracelet. I believe there is something about periodic searches of her home as well. We don't party or anything so it will be a clean environment for her. We will live like that for a few months.

The only firearms in the apartment are mine and are locked in a safe in my bedroom's walk-in closet. Neither of them have interest so they won't even see them, let alone have access to them. She supposedly asked her case worker if this situation is OK and the case worker said yes.

I would appreciate any info you have.

No one I've known with a DUI ever had a property search. Should be okay with a safe.

I would get it in writing from the case worker and/or county sheriff. You wouldn't want your firearms seized.

Thanks guys. I am asking her to get it in writing, just in case.

Why is your room mates ankle monitor GF moving in, is she on the lease? If not figure out some way to protect yourself legally. Today she's miss happy maid, tomorrow she's made off with anything not nailed down.

Forgt,t lease wise. IF she is not on the lease. Any LE or related people cannot enter unless you or person on lease is present. She has no legal right to allow access.

Is the room mate paying for an additional person, who is now using your utilities, hot water, cable / internet blah, blah, rah, rah.

Getting in writing is a great idea. The case workers are about as reliable and professional as a DMV temp worker.

Periodic searches of her "home" would not included your room. +1 what Irving said, never heard of a home search on a basic DUI. Unless of course she gives someone reason to search.

As long as a "Prohibited Person" has no means of "possession and or control" of a firearm you should be good to go.
Still, call to an attorney would be a prudent move.

She is paying for her share of rent and utilities. He will cover for her if she isn't able to for some reason. He's been a good friend for 10 years. She will be added to the lease for sure.

She was in jail for 3 months. This is her 3rd DUI. Other than her occasional drinking relapse (2 times a year on average) she's great. Since the ankle bracelet detects alcohol I'm confident she won't relapse until at least it comes off. By then I'll be out of there.

Do you guys know a place that legally stores firearms, mags and ammo? I would be interested in such a place for a reasonable price.
